I think one of the ways of going about thinking this is how we must've felt about being shared a google search (let me google that for you) or within programming, a stackoverflow link by say someone in the team or anything.

We wouldn't feel like they have done any effort because they haven't. The idea about readers feeling cheated is the same way as such and the attitude towards disdain of AI would be in same capacity as someone just giving us a stackoverflow link or google link. (tangentially, Ironic that both of these (SO and google) are now focusing on AI as well)

And in essence we humans would favour human effort. Not because its about the end output but perhaps the journey as well and more important than anything, if a human being is writing about something you enjoy or are passionate of, you firstly have a community and are able to talk with a actual person with hopefully nuanced opinions and just discuss things with things and most importantly, you wouldn't feel alone.

Human cinema,art (media) and music actually go through multiple invisible filters of rejections and previously centralized control and now algorithmic.

Internet has helped with it but it has once again been capitalized and the thing we know is that Ragebait and lack of nuance sells and so the economic incentive alone has led us to the state of the internet that we generally so speak of.

So in some sense, one can argue that even art created by humans have some algorithmic influence and preference but it has also been shown that there are people who are able to persist through with an idea and fight up against the algorithmic, at the end of the day algorithms although having power still serve the main purpose of money and if enough people want something and are willing to pay for it, someone is probably going to provide it who is genuinely passionate about it too.

So in some sense, real creativity and talent are already pushed down upon but it is part of the human spirit not in lack of it but inspite of all these negative conditions which is able to persist through. People love making music and they make it inspite of all the negativity and persist through. I am taking the example of music here and linking a relevant video for those interested[0]

I suppose the same goes for other art and I think that there can be two things correct at the same time. Internet is full of corporate-esque things and also niche things created by the spirit and love of mankind. I suppose that AI might have its impact on the corporate-esque part of things as I feel like some layoff letters are already getting written by AI in dystopian fashion but I also believe that it wouldn't be able to attack or impact the niche created by the spirit and love of mankind aspect that I mentioned.

But with corporations using AI they are pushing an already broken system down to an even more broken system and humans have shown time and time again that there is a breaking point for such scenarios from multiple revolutions throughout and one can argue that there is enough hate for AI already that it can constitute as one of the forming points. There has and should be more use with caution of AI even within corporate if they wish to survive long term as using AI unsustainably and hammering it everywhere both loses any sort of monopoly that they have, after all I could create an alternative of it with AI just as well and also at the same time, make their customers look for other alternatives which aren't filled with the slop-aganza of AI.
